Lovely condition Lizzie. Nice find, well done.

Mind you when I see one that good I always think, no wonder she was ‘The Virgin Queen’ who’d want to see that on the next pillow  ;D

A good way to remember these is that every other denomination has a date - so shillings don't, sixpences do, and so on...
